Topic: David Hare Block


  
 Salon Brilliant Careers | David Hare   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Hare describes her in "Acting Up" as a woman "who has had a good war, but then is disillusioned by peace." Susan lives in a permanent state of ineffectual dissent, but has no way of expressing this dissent other than to disrupt the lives of those around her.
Hare returned to England and the stage in 1985 with "Pravda," an attack on the British press -- Rupert Murdoch in particular -- written in collaboration with Howard Brenton.
Hare is such a good writer that, about two-thirds of the way through "Acting Up," when he is bitterly lamenting what he is missing as a playwright in order to be an actor, you begin to seriously wish he would talk about writing in the way that he has been talking about acting.

 Can David Hare take Manhattan? | | Guardian Unlimited Arts
Hare had been in rehearsal with Mendes and the cast, and was about to disappear for a week's holiday while they transferred to the theatre, a process traditionally too painful for him to watch since it involves his play being dismantled before it's put back together again.
Hare is unusually genial and frank about the process by which plays are built, and on this occasion he had persuaded everyone involved to let me follow them in the 10 days or so leading up to its first public breath.
Hare tells me that although the most obviously heart-wrenching passage is one in which Nadia tells a story about an ex-lover, during one recent rehearsal he found himself close to tears when Nadia spoke about the war.

 Hare's breath of life - Arts - www.theage.com.au
David Hare coined the word in a newspaper piece he wrote two years ago in which he challenged the concept of fiction and "fabulation" in the arts.
What is out there for Hare are the real and "urgent subjects" of his recent plays, among them the strife in Israel and Palestine, disastrous rail crashes in Britain, which he blames on privatisation, and the twin motivators of the coalition of the willing, George Bush and Tony Blair.
With no sign of writer's block, he is prolific, can write articles, essays, and plays with equal skill, and usually receives tremendous praise for his work as one of Britain's three leading playwrights, along with Tom Stoppard and Harold Pinter.

 Observer | Can David Hare take Manhattan?
Hare wrote The Vertical Hour - which has at its centre a character named Nadia Blye, former war correspondent, now star professor of political studies at Yale - because he was interested in the liberal pro-Iraq war position.
Hare had told me earlier: 'I don't think anything in the world of showbusiness has made me as happy as watching the world come to the same conclusion about Bill that I had from the first day I met him.
As Hare puts it: 'She's one of the great minimalists, so walloping great speeches have not traditionally been her thing.' The character of Nadia is written so that she speaks, in Hare's phrase, 'like one of the cleverest women in America'.

 contrarian quarterly: Travel   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
David Hare's new play Stuff Happens, up now in London, portrays Bush, Blair and the Iraqi war.
In Hare's version of history, our leaders, who, like the rest of the nation, lost the illusion of invulnerability on September 11, 2001, are compelled to construct for the American people an unambivalent triumphalist fable of revenge.
Hare functions best as a dramatist when he assumes the role of reporter and allows his intellectual curiosity to override his literary immodesty.

 Eye Weekly - racing demon - 09.10.98
Hare is one of the world's best living playwrights, but is better known in North America for his work on small, critically embraced films like Plenty, Wetherby and Strapless -- some of which he adapted from his plays.
At the centre of Hare's drama is "a team" of three ministers trying to cope with problems in South London.
There's a block of flats and an advertising awning where the paper has been torn off, a neo-gothic church and a railway bridge which trains pass over, carrying commuters in that kind of impersonal way, out toward the suburbs." Against that gritty backdrop, Morahan and set designer Stephen Brimson Lewis have set minimal scene changes.

 The Hours
Screenwriter David Hare saw Michael Cunningham's novel as an "extraordinarily accomplished piece of literature." He adds: "I thought that the tactic of telling three stories without the reader being able to understand the way they connected was completely fascinating.
Hare understood the screenplay would have to be a different structure from the one in the novel.
Hare had already had a long association with Stephen Daldry before "The Hours." Daldry directed him in his acting debut in Hare's theater piece, "Via Dolorosa," which played at the Royal Court in London and ran for four months on Broadway.

Hare told Playbill On-Line Jan. 9 that he figured Breath of Life could run forever on the strength of their performances, if Smith were not being called away to film the third installment of the "Harry Potter" series.
David Hare has set his latest play, The Breath of Life, in a down-at-heel, Victorian seaside resort on the Isle of Wight.

No, but the truth is, Hare could cut 30 minutes from his play and still successfully explore its issues.

 RTE.ie Entertainment - The Hours
In 1921 Virginia Woolf (Kidman) is starting her novel 'Mrs Dalloway' and fighting off writer's block and the anxious care of husband Leonard (Dillane).
Juggling three stories, he - and scriptwriter David Hare - have worked Michael Cunningham's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel into a moving study of how people face up to love and death, sacrifice and freedom.
For some, the sense of lives about to boil over running through the whole film might be tough going, but the poignancy of every scene is also offset by the feeling of uplift as people come to accept things for what they are.

 The Blog | David Corn: Woodward and Reality | The Huffington Post
The memo was written by David Manning, Blair's chief foreign policy adviser at the time and one of two Blair aides who were in the meeting.
David Corn's obsequious tone toward Bob Woodward is a bit puzzling--well, maybe not so puzzling, professional courtesy and all--and more than a bit sickening.
David Hare's play "Stuff Happens" is a far more credible account of these events, and he wasn't even embedded.

The two Times, the two Telegraphs, the two Mails, the two Mirrors, the two Expresses, The Guardian, The Observer and the new kids on the block, the two Independents, are all there, twenty years after the 1985 premier of Pravda, and its almost immediate revival in 1986.
Another, very marginal, reason is that the co-writers, Howard Brenton and David Hare are - were - local boys (Chichester High School and Lancing College, respectively).
Maybe Brenton and Hare had some romance or dream about the press which they wished was more widely shared.

Anyone who is readily familiar with the controversial astronomer Galileo Galilei and his denounced teachings will no doubt find interest in David Hare’s compelling translation of Bertolt Brecht’s The Life of Galileo.
Hare has cleverly adapted Brecht’s original story into an excellent translation with bright, witty dialogue and a uniquely human bend.

I also sympathized with Hare in his spat with then-NY Times theater critic Frank Rich, which is recapped in Hare's fascinating memoir Acting Up about his experience doing the one-man show Via Dolorosa.
In Acting Up, Hare shares his growing realization that the sporadic barrage of coughs that greet sections of his monologue about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict have little to do with the cold or flu; coming at certain key passages in the play, they're minor bombardments of discomfort and disapproval.
Night after night the audience would be quiet and attentive, only to break out into the 1812 overture when he reached the parts that made them defensive.
